The development which is taking
place in the Mouse River region in
North Dakota, this spring, is something
surprising to those unacquainted with
the rapiditv with which the newer parts
Of the Northwest are being brought un.
der the sway of the pillow. The moving
cause up there just now is traceable to
the fact that an enormous extent of fer
tile land has suddenly been brought in.
to quick and easy connection with the
rest of the country. Last November
thesrails of the st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba railway reached the second
crossing of the River, 207 miles west of
the Red River. Close to this point was
an immense area of fertile land without
a settler except along the river timber.
Now home.seekers have focked in with
such unexampled rapidity that the new
dwellings of the home-steaders can be
seen dotting the prairie for miles around
Minot.
Eight miles above this town is the
junction of the DE Laos with the Mouse.
This De Laos Valley is in every way q
most inviting country. Rising in q
beautiful lake 80 miles in length, it
flows through two more lakes, some.
what smaller, and after leaving the last
one, for 60 miles waters q charming
valley Of rich soil covered by the finest
grasses. The tributary streams are
many, and nearly all are living bodies
Of cold, pure, spring water. Nature
has indeed been lavish in her gifts to
this most attractive valley, for not only
are the tributary valleys filed by dense
forests of oak, ash poplar and elm tim
Der, but for miles the most prominent
objects IN view in the bluffs are the
great black veins Of coal which band
their sides. To the north Of the valley
q great expanse Of fertile prairie ex-
tends to the Mouse, while, to the south.
west, land Of the same kind stretches
away to the rolling coteaux which
bounds the valley on the south.

Winter Good Time for Applying GOos
and Well-ROtted Manure.

and Well -Rotted Manure.
If from any reason it is especially
desirable to keep land seeded to grass
for hay, the surest way Of keeping up
the fertility is by top dressing. Apply
whatever fertilizer is needed on tho
surface. When the farm lays in such
way that good system of rotation
can be carried on, plowing up the
meadows and applying the necessary
manure will be found to be the best
plan. But there are circumstances that
render it not always advisable to follow
this plan, and when q good even stand
of grass is secured. it will be best to let
it remain rs long rs profitable crops
can he secured, and in order to do this
it will be necessary to keep up the fer
tility by top dressing Good, we'll
rottcd and fined manure should be used
whenever it can be had and is, perhaps,
the best fertilizer that we can employ.
And during the fall and winter when
the ground is solid so that the wheels
of the wagon will not cut down into tho
sward, is q good time for hauling out
and applying.
1t is very essential that the manure
applied be fined. If applied in Jumps
the grass must fail to derive the full
benefit OF the application, and such
treatment is inclined to make the grass
spotted and often the large, coarse
Jumps will kill the grass underneath.
If properly managed so that it is thor
oughly rotted. the necessary handling
will sufficiently fine it if care is taken
in applying to scatter evenly over the
surface.
If the soil is in fit condition a good
narrowing can often be given with
profit. If this can not be done when
the application is given, reasonably
early in the spring, after the ground
settles, is good time to harrow. This
tends to loosen the surface, and at the
same time fine the manure and work
it around the roots. Superphosphate
can nearly always be applied to grass
land with profit. Good wooa sshes, il
scattered evenly, will be found valuable
when they can be had conveniently.
But tho average farmer will usually
find well rotted stable manure to be the
most economical, and by keeping up
the fertility by top dressing with it. the
land may be made 10 yield profitable
crops of grass long time without

yhe Weight Of a Fly.

James Spencer hit on novel way to
get ut the approximate weight of fly.
His store is greatly pestered with flies,
and he recently brought into use the
patent fly paper He put out 2l of
these sheets, being 12x2S inches each,
covering surface of 1856 square inches.
In the evening, when the papers wore
filled, he took them up to destroy them
and noticed the increased weight, and,
struck with curiosity, he put the papers.
with their load of dead flies, In pair
of scales, and found that the Fl weighed
exactly seven pounds. He then weighed
2l sheets without the flies, and found
that they weighed four pounds and four
ounces. Thus on the 2l papers there
were Al ounces, or two pounds and IL
ounces of flies. This number of flies is
taken probably two or three times a
day. "Now If you want to know how
much fly Weighs" says Mr. Spencer.
''you will find that there is an average
Of 20 flies to the square inch on the
paper On one paper. therefore, which
has 1886 square inches. you have 6.720
flies, and on the whole 21 sheets there
are l41, ,120 flies; therefore, If 141, 120
flies weigh A ounces, how much does
one fly weight 1t is a simple calcula.
lation, and those who have curiosity
to know can quickly find 1t out."-

THE JUBILEE PIE.


Americans boast of the excellence of
their pumpkin and other pies, and
have the reputation of being nation
of pie eaters. When 1t comes to max
ing good pies and pies of many varie-
ties undoubtedly the Yankee is ahead of
all the world. The Englishman occa-
sionally make a rough, blind, determn-
ed rush for the lead, and then gives it
up. There are accounts extant of GER
tain big pies baked in the right little,
tight little isle; one In 1888 in Joy for
the recovery of George III. from n fit
of sickness, mcnial and physical; an
other in 1916, to glorify Waterloo and
peace; another in 1876 to celebrate the
repeal of the corn laws. The largest
on record was baked few months ago
and styled the jubilee pie. 1t is some
thing larger than the regular family
size Washington pie as will be seen
by the list of ingredients, viz: Flour,
s96 pounds, or nearly five bar-
rels; beef, 1850 pounds; mutton,
1s0; veal, 100; beef suct, 40; drippings.
40; lamb, 1870; pork, 250; lard, 120; but
ter, 80 pounds; rabbits in number, 81;
hares. 8; fowls, AZ; pigeons, 40; grouse,
II; ducks. 21; plovers. 4; turkey, 1;
geese, 5; small birds. 100-quite too
much of mixture in the way of meats
one would think. In addition there
were eggs, 80; potatoes, $50 pounds;
pepper, 8; allspice, 4; salt, 6 pounds,
and brandy, 2 gallons. The weight OF
the whole pie was two and quarter
tons; it was eight feet in diameter, and
nearly two feet high. This big. un.
skillful compound of pastry was thor.
oroughly baked in two hours, and de.
voured by the population of two OIL
three villages in great deal less time
The weather was cool and pleasant
which may account for the fact that nc
unusual degree of sickness in the
neighborhood followed the consump
ton of the pie.-Detroit Free Press.

STYLISH COMBINATIONS.

Directions for Producing Neat and FASH
ionable Feminine Costumes.
The most characteristic feature Of the
style of any gown ia tho manner in
which the materials composing it are
combined. 1t is rare to see a very
striking contrast of colors. but where
such contrasts are used. the fabric is
the same, or the combination so cum
ningly contrived that the appearance
of unity is not lost.
Fine cloths are made up in two con-
trasting colors. such as boa, or serpent
gray, with deep mousse, or Russian
green, the lighter color used for dra-
peries and basque, making it the DOM
inant tone Of the costume, and the
dark color for the underskirt, and the
vest or chcmisette, V-shaped piece for
the back, and whatever other accessor-
les are used for the basque. Pinked-out
edges of the contrasting colors, alter
mating, are used on the draperes of
some cloth dresses and the fashionable
combinations of color-plum-color and
lava. cactus-red and Cuban brown.
bambou and black, moss.gret.n and
aspic, etc.-are very effective in this
style Of garniture.
The material in the dark color may
be velvet or moire antique, instead of
goods OF the same texture; and in cos
tunes made entirely of one color, wool
or cloth and any silken fabric may be
combined, such as moire antique. faille
Franchise or watered silk in the same
shade.
When using plain and figured fab
ric IN combination, such as the snowy
stripes with ono plain color, the striped
material is generally used for the plain
underskirt amounted, of course, on a
gored foundation), and for vest,
chemisette or revers, cuffs, and collar
on the waist, and drapery-revers o.
paniers on the skirt or polonaise. Some
times, however, the case is reversed,
and very elaborate pattern in stripes
is used for the upper parC of the dress,
as in an exquisite white MORE antique
brocadc, where the striped moire formed
the bodice and train, while the front OF
the dress was Gov cred with'lace founcen
put OH plain faille skirt As rule.
however, it is safe to select some plain
material for the waist and consider
able portion Of the drapery, and let the
figured goods take its chances. A
striped fabric will hardly come amiss
anywhere, for 1t adjusts itself easily to
all the various minor parts of tho COS
